Stop Wearing Out Your Gloves & Grips #golftips #golf #short

Paul Wilson explains how tight wrists cause golf club grips and gloves to wear out prematurely due to twisting on off-center hits. He demonstrates a simple drill placing a golf tee under the lead hand pad to help golfers keep their wrists loose without losing control of the club.

• Worn grips and torn glove pads indicate your wrists are locked up too tight during the swing.
• Tight wrists prevent shock absorption on mishits, causing the club handle to twist in your hands and wear out materials.
• Insert a golf tee under the pad of your lead hand and practice hinging the club to maintain firm contact without tightening your wrists.
